<Name: Stan Contact Info: plurk is bouquets, AIM is g.o.d.a.i.m.e Other Characters Played: none Requested apartment: randomize me ♥ Character Name: Tsunade. Her last name isn't mentioned. She's also known as the Fifth Hokage, Princess of Slugs, and, less formidably, the Legendary Sitting Duck. Canon: Naruto Canon Point: Chapter 677! What way to break her hallucination of her Dream Life™ than to have her wake up in Haven! Background/History: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tsunade Personality: When one thinks of Tsunade, you’re never quite sure what they’re going to think. It could anything from her astounding strength, to her monstrous temper, to her history with gambling and losing everything, to her drinking, to her skills as a medic and one of Konoha’s legendary and greatest Hokages. However, when one first meets Tsunade, one of the most revered and honored kunoichi in the world, the first impression they get may not be their greatest. First, she definitely has some temper issues. Naruto listing her bad qualities resulted in her challenging him to a fight. Keep in mind Naruto was, at the time, twelve years old and indefinitely weaker than her. When Orochimaru and Kabuto bring up her loved ones and insult them in front of Tsunade’s eyes, her response is to go berserk and begin to smash everything in her path. Finally, this trait is apparent after returning to Konoha and before she even left. She ends up calling the Third Hokage, her teacher, a shitty old man for not taking her advice, and even calls Gaara, another Kage of a powerful village, a little shit when he disagreed with her plan to let Naruto and B fight the war. As a final example, she often destroys her desks in small fits of irritation at slight provocations. In fact, it’s been lampshaded that Tsunade buys them in bulk because of the frequency they’re reduced to splinters. When she catches Jiraiya spying on her, she ends up breaking two of his arms, most of his organs ruptured, and six of his ribs. That’s quite a tempered response. Her outrageous temper is far from her only vice too. Tsunade is quite notably a very social drinker. She drinks with Jiraiya three times in two days, getting drunk on each occasion. She also has been noted to blow off work or very important duties so she can go have a nice little bottle of saké, or, to tend to her other past time, gambling. It’s noted that Tsunade’s drinking was so prevalent, the editor ordered Kishimoto to cut it entirely or save it rare occasions. Regardless, she still makes plenty of appearances with a bottle in the series, and, the databook states her favorite food is saké. However, her all time favorite vice is gambling. Tsunade’s life before becoming the Hokage for twenty years consisted of gambling, gambling, and gambling. Her gambling was so prevalent, Jiraiya was only able to find her by her nickname, “the Legendary Sucker” because of her tendency to blow through extremes amount of money on gambling and lose every drop of it because of a hilariously unlucky streak. In fact, for the past twenty years, Tsunade borrowed massive amounts of money, gambled it all away, and then changed her appearance and skipped town to avoid debt collectors which speaks volumes about her habits. There is also her laziness. Tsunade can most commonly be seen avoiding her massive, mind boggling amounts of paperwork. In fact, her laziness has often lead to her blowing off work all together, or, perhaps even more telling, taking on the job naps at her desk. Another thing to note is that Tsunade is certainly a very vain woman. Despite being fifty, and looking about seventy thanks to Sozo Saisei (more on that later), she constantly employs a transformation Jutsu to keep herself looking younger for no other purpose than vanity. If one were to point this out and call her old, her nasty temper flares up. The word old from Naruto caused Tsunade to pound a table, and, when Jiraiya called her old, her response was simply to yell at him and criticize him for his own perverseness. Whatever you say about Tsunade, one thing will always remain constant - she does have her flaws. One thing to note in relation to Tsunade’s temper is her toughness. Tsunade is quite the bold person. She says what she wants to say and is often very, very cocky. Her bluntness doesn’t hold back for her calling Jiraiya a perv and rejecting him (again), or insulting and snarking at the other kages, and blatantly telling other people that she really is going to kick her ass. She even stands up to a terrorist who invaded her village, telling him off for his twisted philosophies and injustice towards her village and its people. Her arrogance is a particularly noticeable point. She repeatedly places her abilities ahead of others, stating that she’ll be able to win against them with ease, or telling Naruto it’ll only take a finger to win against him. Finally, she states she can heal anything and everything and that she can’t lose by sheer virtue of her importance and ability. Her boldness is quite a difficult part of her personality in tandem with her determination. There’ll be absolutely nothing that stops Tsunade. When Pain ends up nuking Konoha, Tsunade, who is close to death from healing everyone in her village, ends up clearing fifty meters in seconds to fight a man who killed her equal despite being close to death. When Tsunade decides that Naruto should be allowed out of the village and to fight, she butts heads with just about everyone else in the series, from the elders, Shizune, the rest of the Kages, and Danzo. She doesn’t once change her opinion despite being toppled, and, the second she’s able to bring it up again and physically fight for it, she indeed does so. When Orochimaru and Kabuto attempt to flee, Tsunade chases them for miles, attacking and smashing everything in her path. There’s many things Tsunade is, but a quitter isn’t one of them. Madara also learned this quite the hard way. After Madara, one of the strongest ninja in history who, at this point, has received multiple power upgrades that has outclassed pretty much every alive ninja, insulted Tsunade for just about... her entire existence, Tsunade responded that the one trait she received from her amazingly powerful Grandfather is her unbending will and if he thinks that his words alone will discourage her he has another thing coming. She then personally proceeded to thrash him about, refusing to give up even when she had two swords in the middle of her abdomen. In fact, she gladly risked her life and the last of her chakra batting away fireballs from the other Kage (village leader) even knowing the consequences might end with her personal death. With these personality traits, dealing with Tsunade is a bit difficult. Her brash, free-spirited, recklessness is a trait that has made her practically famous in and of its own right. However, despite this, Tsunade can also often appear carefree and jovial. She’ll sometimes give off a loud, great, smile whenever she hears great news or wants to appear particularly reassuring. Whenever she’s in a mood that doesn’t involve anything that can properly irritate her (which, granted is a lot of things) or doesn’t require a serious outlook, she can have an energetic, and very upbeat and cocky demeanor. When she returns to Konoha, she goes through every room and heals the entire hospital population while having a cocky grin and hopping around the entire floor to the point where Shikamaru asks, “Hey? Who’s the lady with the big personality?”. When she gives a gift to Nawaki, she appears bubbly and carefree, grinning and even teasing Nawaki with a great amount of elation. She later reciprocates this attitude towards Naruto in a similar circumstance. She gives him a necklace and then, at a later date, grins at him and tells him he’ll make a fine man someday. Despite this, Tsunade’s tough exterior has a rather soft and sweet interior. Despite how she readily criticizes and bluntly tells off Naruto, her faith in him is almost unrivaled. She’s stuck up for him constantly behind closed doors no matter what the risk is. After challenging Naruto to a fight, instead of striking him, she kisses him and tells him to grow up to be a fine man someday. Another example of this is when Naruto readily blames Jiraiya’s death on her, she does not yell at him, she just lets him go to deal with the feelings because she cared for him and didn’t want to upset him further. Other examples of her great love for Konoha, and its people who constitute for her soft side are consoling Shikamaru at his mission’s failure stating he still did a great job, healing Rock Lee to help him continue his dream, or readily accepting Sakura as an apprentice to aid her and her ambitions. However, her biggest example of her love came during Konoha’s invasion. Her love for the village caused her to heal everyone in the village she could, and to protect them from anything that came in their path. In fact, her effort and love that went into healing and protecting thousands ended up landing her into a comatose state, which says volumes about her dedication towards Konoha and its people and how willing she is to protect people she loves or innocent people in general. She definitely has her flaws in being a rough, cocky alcoholic gambler, but she also tries to bolster other people's confidence, and wishes to provide a supporting, nurturing foundation on which the whole world can thrive on and, to this extent, she definitely gives her all to this goal. Once Tsunade is in your corner, she won't leave and if you're supposedly on her side yet don't have faith in it, she will chew you out. Just ask the village elders she ripped a new one because they lacked the faith in the new generation she had. In fact, Tsunade's selfless in the sense that, often times, she'll be her last priority. When she woke up from being defeated by Madara, her first reaction was to use the last of energy to help the other injured village leaders despite the fact that, at this point, she was chopped in half. Also, of note, her dream world included Orochimaru, a bitter and sworn enemy showing that, despite her tough front, she truly did care for him and was pained by his defection. She was also quite thankful towards him when he came and saved her life, despite her initial brash greeting of him, because, hey, the last time they saw each other she laid the smackdown of a lifetime to his face. The deaths of her subordinates and friends is something that definitely shakes up Tsunade to the point where she's willing to use herself as a human shield to prevent their injuries. The deaths of Dan, her lover, and Nawaki, her brother, affected her enough that she chose to give up fighting and a career as a ninja altogether. When Naruto was almost dying because of a well-placed attack to the heart, Tsunade started to cry and personally pump his heart outright screaming for him to not die. Tsunade isn't all bad, in fact, she's a pretty good person and wishes for a world peace and the thriving of nations. A great example for her contrast between her tough personality and her inner gentleness can be found in Jiraiya. When Tsunade stated that she’d be upset if she lost Jiraiya, Jiraiya replies with laughter stating that it’s rich that she’s actually going to cry for him. Tsunade replies angrily stating that she isn’t ever going to be crying for someone like him. Despite this, his death undoubtably left a deep scar on her. Tsunade attempts to keep control and not let his death get to her for a while. She works for a couple of days, seemingly fine. However, the moment she steps outside and blows off Shikamaru, she ends up collapsing in the hallway, crying over the lost of her friend. Something she directly stated she’d never do, most likely out of her feisty personality. Finally, it should be noted that Tsunade is a very competent leader in general. She’s able to formulate teams that work well together, create organizations for specific purposes, and create strategies based on the limited information she receives. She was able to rebuild Konoha twice, and improve relations with countries that just previously attacked the village. She even reciprocated these favors towards the village, and, was stated to be the best pick for the Head Commander of the united Shinobi army (that consists of 6 military, economic, and political strong holds) if it wasn’t for her comatose state. In fact, she was considered to be such a great leader, that the Fire Daimyo, her boss, was hesitant to replace a comatose Tsunade and bring in another kage. In other words: even a comatose Tsunade is still the best leader Konoha has to offer. Abilities/Powers: Oh boy, oh boy. Tsunade is quite a pain to deal with in fighting. Her combat is cornered around her insane strength and her, quite frankly, ridiculous endurance and healing talents. Tsunade has unparalleled Chakra Control. Chakra is the natural spiritual energy that is used for fighting techniques in Naruto. It's also a life force. Without it, you will die. Tsunade's control over chakra means that she does not waste excess chakra in performing her techniques which means that she has the potential to fight for hours consecutively. Additionally, because of her heritage, she has naturally mammoth chakra reserves, being able to heal thousands of people at once in one arc when it was stated healing a single person takes up a lot of chakra. She also has a second set of chakra because of a seal, putting her in the upper 10% in terms of chakra reserves. First, her primary ability, is her massive strength. Madara, an almost mythic ninja who has faced countless strong opponents and has experience with ninjas from every walk of life, stated that her strength is simply intense and a cut above the rest of the characters he's faced. After a single punch, she was able to crack his supposedly impenetrable shield and another kick blew it fully open, causing him to recant his statement about her weakness. Orochimaru, a teammate for decades and an expert on her strength said a single hit from her can kill and indeed, when she has split open the street with a single finger and demolished an alleyway with a kick, it's really hard to dispute that. Her strength isn't limited to just striking either, it's indicated that a lot of it is sheerly natural and is merely enhanced with the application and release of chakra at specific moments. She was able to wield a skyscraper-sized sword and accurately guide it into a giant snake's mouth before it could close its jaws. However, she has other close range combat skills in case her strength is failing her. Ranshishou is a technique that scatters the nervous system and makes it so if they were to move their arm, for example, they'd end up moving a heel or something similar. Tsunade's most legendary skill, however, is her medical prowess. She can use ninjutsu known as Shosen to speed up her body's natural healing process. Her skill with this technique is so notable that she can regenerate an eye just by touching someone and can heal a leg with a single touch. Her skills as a medic is so great, she was able to heal thousands of people simultaneously twice over with the help of her summon, Katsuyu. Additionally, she can transfer her chakra to others and supercharge their techniques like a living chakra battery. Her ability to heal others surpasses physical afflictions and can go right beyond into mental afflictions, as she was able to heal someone from a mental affliction that put them into a comatose implying a significant knowledge in the human psyche. Orochimaru said there was no wound she couldn't heal and personally sought her out to heal his arms which were claimed and sealed by the grim reaper himself. Tsunade, despite being out of practice for multiple decades, didn't refute this claim. Additionally, Tsunade is a master at poisons, although this rarely shows it hand. She was able to drug Jiraiya without his knowledge, stating that was something only she could do. Chiyo, her archenemy from wartime, stated that Tsunade would be able to counter her poisons without fail and create antidotes. Medicine is Tsunade's forte and she remains unsurpassed in such a field. Another technique she can use is chakra scalpel, which converts chakra into a blade that can sever muscles or, if placed accurately, kill by slicing arteries or attacking the heart directly. When Kabuto used a chakra scalpel offensively, she stated that his precision and skill with it in an offensive setting surpassed hers indicating familiar usage with it in a combat setting despite this she has only used it to cut open Naruto's shirt. Her medical techniques have a limited offensive usage, in that it can overload a person's respiratory system and cause them to pass out. She was also able to use this technique with a "killing intent" that Kabuto identified as something that would kill Orochimaru, a supposedly immortal man that has cheated death more times than one could count. However, she took hella days to load this super kill technique and thus it's highly interruptible. Tsunade is also the master at seals. Her own seal, Strength of a Hundred Seal, can be released to replenish her chakra reserves as it is made up of chakra that she has stored in her forehead for a really rainy day. From here, the chakra can be used for creation rebirth, a technique which allowed her to regenerate any type of damage she has received, including organs and limbs. Or, she can use this for the Strength of a Hundred Technique, which allows her to regenerate in the middle of combat without the use of hand signs and without conscious thought. With this, she brags about how she's immortal on the battlefield and will never die. However, the techniques shorten her lifespan because of a finite amount of cells she can generate, also it ages her incredibly. Despite being in her mid-fifties, without her transformation technique she easily looks like she's older than the Golden Girls put together. If she runs of chakra, the technique ends, but she is also able to reseal the technique at will making this an unlikely circumstance that just coincidentally happens every time she fights. Another technique she has is to vitalize her body to move at incredible bursts of speed noted as Shushin Jutsu. However, this is the only way she has to increase her speed and she's not a very fast person without it. She mostly uses this it transport herself from one location to another quickly. After Konoha was reduced to a parking lot, she cleared about half of her city in a single second thanks to, presumably, this technique. Otherwise, Kishimoto created a minor plothole since speed is officially not her forte. Tsunade also has a ridiculously high damage soak, being able to endure impossible amounts of damage. Buildings falling on her? She gets up perfectly fine and is just pissed that the building fell. Being stabbed three times in the chest? Turns out, the only thing holding her back from moving and not being a useless mess was her fear of blood, not the actual stab wounds. A jutsu that can supposedly rip people to shreds because they're traveling at the speed of light? Tsunade received several internal and external lacerations, but she was intact which is a considerable feat. She was able to move with two giant blades inside her torso. But, her most telling feat of durability was when she was chopped in half and still summoned Katsuyu to heal the other Kage. Nothing appears to slow Tsunade down and when she falls, its often due to chakra exhaustion. Finally, there's Katsuyu. Katsuyu is Tsunade's personal summon, who is, apparently, absolutely massive. Tsunade and Sakura's combined efforts were only able to summon a tenth of Katsuyu's full body and she was able to aid in healing an entire army. Summoning Katsuyu, unlike other summons, is summoning portions of the same entity. The portion Tsunade usually summons is massive, although she has been seen to summon smaller Katsuyus for more espionage related ideas. Katsuyu is easily taller than four stories, as that is the height of the largest building in Konoha which Katsuyu rivaled in size. Katsuyu can divide herself into several smaller slugs that easily numerate into the thousands and she can reform herself into one entity with ease. These clones can channel Tsunade's medical chakra which means Tsunade is able to heal multiple targets simultaneously through Katsuyu. This healing is so potent that it can connect bisected people, although the healing factor is dependent on Tsunade's state of health. If she's weakened, the process will take a very long time. Katsuyu's lone offensive ability, aside from maybe some creative suffocation, is the ability to spit acid from her mouth. This acid can vaporize rock in seconds and isn't something to take lightly, as even Orochimaru and his cohorts took the sound of Katsuyu making some flesh melting liquids pretty seriously. Katsuyu's main talent is her ability to suck people into her for protective cushioning with her insane durability. She was able to save an entire village with her clones withstanding the Power of Gravity™ which pushed and leveled Konoha's buildings before sending the village several feet below sea level. The citizens, however, were safe inside her divisions. A palm sized version was able to survive a corrosive chakra cloak and the most extreme attack in the series. The small slug divisions are deceptively fast, as they're able to throw themselves in front of an attack before a giant rhino was able to cross a room. It's weirdest ability is the ability to deconstruct itself into nothing but an entire pool of liquid yet it is still able to function as if it's normal. Items/Weapons: Poison - This poison is odorless, tasteless and concealed in a small packet. It can also interfere with a person's spiritual energy and will leave them weak for hours after waking up. The poison takes place quickly, causing them to pass out. It should be noted that even other medics have a difficulty from healing the afflictions from that poison. Sample Entry: this or this Sample Entry Two: With a blink of her eyes, the dream was over. Her beautiful world, where her lover was alive and Hokage, her teammates and brother were alive and friends returned to the fantasy it once was. A glare dusts over Tsunade as she bitterly looks over the room. It's unfamiliar to her completely. At first, Tsunade isn't sure what to focus on. The completely brand new location pricks her curiosity but first comes the shock that Madara succeeded in his Moon's Eye Plan, and that she was a victim of a genjutsu that created the most elaborate fantasy she ever received. To invoke the memory of her dead lover, brother, and teammate against her stirs the deepest, darkest, angriest part of Tsunade. To taunt her with a dream she'll never accomplish, especially since she bears the burden of her village for those that couldn't actually gets to her despite all of her years of training herself to be a cold, calculating tool on the behalf of her country, digs into an emotional wound that still hasn't quite healed. Her eyes flash with a rage that's reserved for desecrating her village or personally insulting her legacy. Her voice roars with rage, "Madara! You get back here right now! Or so help me I will rip you limb from limb so savagely you'll wish you stayed dead and buried." Nothing but the echos of her own voice respond, aside from a distant shout for her to stop yelling. She releases a gruff pant before looking around thinking that this could be a second part of the genjutsu. She quickly bites her lip to release her from the genjutsu, but to no avail. The battered cellphone starts to vibrate, and she looks at it with wonder. The sheer desolate location can't possibly be the battlefield, as they took caution not to fight in a city. So then just what is this place? If she wasn't in a genjutsu, what was she in? She picks up the phone and somehow fumbles with it to accept the call. Her voice resonates with the loud, brash, cheerful tone she usually maintains. Her pain and anger are, for now, suppressed. She can't just spring this anger on someone who's not responsible. Although, if she gets Madara on the other end you better believe some intense vocal shouting will be going on. "Hello. You have the Fifth Hokage, how may I help you?"
